A lovely house that is welcoming and the sun room is an awesome addition. There is plenty of room and having two onsuite bathrooms was so helpful. We had another great stay in Seahouses and the location of the house was perfect. There is a nice back garden to relax and bbq with your family and friends.

Generally excellent in many ways. The property is spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. It is close to good pubs and local restaurants, and has ample offroad parking. The beaches are just magnificent; all within a 5-minute walk.
